Default Dave Matthews Help?

I just found a reborn obsession for Dave songs. My question is how do I go about learning new songs? I learned Two Step and it took me a long time and a ton of videos but I am craving more. Most online tabs don't really show his true chord use or have "easy versions"

I'm not really in DMB, but considering the enthusiastic cult-like following of him, I've gotta imagine there are tons and tons of youtube lesson videos...

I'm not too big on DMB myself, but I like the song #41 a lot. A video they did of it with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones is one of the best live performances I've ever seen--it's all good, and Bela Fleck's little duet with Victor Wooten is wonderful, but when Jeff Coffin really gets going on sax, between 11:00 and 15:00 or so, he ascends to a higher dimension right there on stage



I think the studio version is something like this-- () means you can play, mute, or avoid as preferred

Intro - 532500 754700 07548x x54030
Verse - 5(7)078x 75078x (0)7578x x5078x
Chorus - first position G, D/F# (major or add2), first position C (major or add2), Cmaj7 to lead back into the verse



Edit: this turns out to be my 41st post here, which is obviously of great significance

Davetabs.com is a more updated version of dmbtabs (as I think the latter was abandoned)

Look up a guy named Carson McCabe on YouTube, he has a ton of great, accurate tutorials.

Super fun songs to play. Learn So Much To Say. Took me weeks and tons of repetition but so fun.
